Dear Nelson, I'm so sorry for your loss. My grandfather had a ten year struggle with Alzheimer's, and it was so incredibly painful for our family. I'm praying that you and your children find some comfort at this time in time in knowing that Jacqueline and Axl are back together, and with your other Rottweilers at the Rainbow Bridge.

Oh my goodness, this brought tears to my eyes. I am so very sorry for your loss. May her soul rest in peace and may you find comfort in the knowledge that her battle is over. She was blessed to have you as her husband and caretaker. God bless you all.

My sympathies and condolences! Your posts and pics of your wife were a delight to read. It was wonderful to see the love and affection between both of you as well as the rotts. Your posts of your wife Jackie and Axl were especially touching. I'm glad her passing was peaceful. Much love -Jocelyn Chang.

Please know that even though you only have a few comments here, that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people praying for your family. You've had a tough year, but in God's plan there's always a rainbow after the storm. Hang in there. You are not alone... You have God, Ruff, Bessie and all of us. Every post from you brightens our days. And we should let you know more often how much you mean to us. We love you and you are in our prayers.

I know tomorrow is the viewing and Saturday is the Mass. Will the dogs participate or will you have a private ceremony for them to attend?

We are so sorry to hear this news, Nelson... Please know that you are in our hearts and thoughts, and in many others as well. Your journey as of recent has shown some difficult times, to say the least. We look forward to seeing the sun shine on you in due time, after all the rain and storms you have withstood. May your strength continue forward, like your relentless devotion for your loved ones. Heartfelt thoughts for your beloved Jacqueline and Axl; may they rest in peace together. Sending love and warmth to you, Ruff, and Bessie. Warmly, Annette

About Me

Having worked in the airline business for 40 years for two major airlines I retired over 15 years ago to my dream home in rural Kentucky. My life was changed in 2017 when Jacqueline, my wife of 56 years, passed away. Now I spend all my time enjoying the remainder of my retirement with my last two Rottweilers, Bess and Ruff. This blog is not about me, it is about the Rottweilers who stole my heart and have filled my life with their love. I plan to update this blog with future posts of our adventures but will begin, as all good stories do, at the beginning. The story began in 1995. You can follow it in the Blog Archive on the left with some of the pages I saved from my original web site.
